May: Higashitsuru Junmai Ginjo-shu Unfiltered Nama-shu & Satsukuchiman Junmai Daiginjo-Once Fired! Beautiful ginjo aroma. The sweetness is mild. The acidity is strong. Bitterness can be felt. It was the first brand I drank from the hanpukai, but it was very tasty.
This is a special order item for the sake shops of Higashitsuru, a company we have been serving a lot recently. This one is made with Saga no Hana (flower of Saga) and is bottle warmed and hi-seasoned to preserve its fruity flavor. We have high expectations.
It has a melon-like sweetness, but it is not too sweet and the aroma is not too strong, so it is quite refreshing. It may be the type that is popular these days. It can be enjoyed by itself or with food.
Higashi-Tsuru is a family-owned business, and I don't think the production volume was that large. However, they have pursued the pursuit of flavor by deepening the well and are a brewery that I would like to continue to patronize in the future.
Lately, I've been a fan of Azuma Tsuru-san: ❣️
But there are some I haven't had yet!
If it's light nigori and draft, it's a must try ⤴️
It smells like strawberries when you open it 😍!
If you sip it without mixing too much orikori, it has a sharp sweet and sour taste...yummy⤴️⤴️
The spicy and slightly spicy flavor makes it a perfect combination 🙆🙆.
Spicy dry curry goes surprisingly well 😋.
Even after a few days, the strawberry-like flavor is still delicious ❣️❣️
Rice polishing ratio 60
Alcohol content 15
Date of production: March 2025

Hi Rika 🐦.
The 🍓-flavored Azuma Tsuru looks delicious 🍓- the ❣️ label is also 🍓-like and spring-like🌸I've been curious about this brand for a long time but I can't seem to find it💦I'll get any of them when I find them😆.
Ponchan❣️Tozuru is a sake from Saga, so they carry it in Fukuoka and it's easy to get if you travel to Saga🙆Thank goodness 🎶It may be a matter of taste, koji, rice, or water, but Kyushu Yamaguchi sake seems to suit my palate more 😍.
First time for me to try Azuma Tsuru.
The stylish label reminds me of wine🍾.
When I drank it, it was delicious with a hint of gas and a full-bodied sweet and sour taste. 🙆♂️
I think beginners will like it too!
Soft and gentle aroma, if I had to guess, it would be muscatelike.
The mouthfeel is soft sweetness, umami, and acidity (which come out in this order), with a pleasant balance.
The rest of the drink has a moderate sweet and sour aftertaste, and it finishes clean and refreshing.
As the name suggests, it is a gentle sake, and is a perfect food sake for everyone.
The alcohol content is a gentle 13 degrees.
It is so delicious that I am sorry I didn't know the brand name until I bought it!

A while ago, my second son, who loves wine, came to Yokohama from Shimanami Kaido where he lives for a friend's wedding, so I thought he might drink it, so I bought one.
Higashitsuru wine yeast brewed
It looks a bit like wine 🍷.
It's 100% Yamadanishiki with wine yeast 😆.
Soft, sweeter than wine (of course?).
But it also has acidity, so in that sense it is wine-like!
But there are more wine-like sake 🤔I guess it's not just the yeast.
But this kind of sake is good sometimes 😘.
My second son just tasted it and said he could feel the smoke.
After a business trip, I drank the rest of the sake, and I think it became more refreshing and more acidic.
Hello, Takashi!
I missed your comment, but I see that your second son lives on the Shimanami Kaido (😲).
I like Shimanami too, and I'm thinking of making [Onomichi] my final home, but I think it will be a while before I get there.
Hi Jive 😊
My second son still has some mysteries in his behavior? 😆 😆
Buying an old house 🛖🔨? He is moving in. (Not sure if he is a permanent resident) 🥳.

TOMO-san 2025 Kamikyo Story Day 2
Here we are again this year, the second day of the drinking party with tomo-san 😊.
We gathered early on Friday to drink hard, and there were 6 of us: tomo-san (okoshiyasu), Nocchi-san (thanks for organizing), MAJ-san (usual), Yucachin (usual), myself, and Tatsu-san (a drinker I met at UTAGE), who joined the party for the first time. Don't tell me you are tired of hearing my name 😆.
We went to a stylish bar in the back of Shinjuku? We drank as much sake as we wanted at a stylish bar in the back of Shinjuku? I'm going to post my first ever Higashitsuru. It was sweet and delicious 😋.
Say "miah" when pouring sake with a sake cup from 🐈⬛ 🐈.
I've had other drinks, so please refer to other's posts (under pressure).
After enjoying the party with drinking, eating, and talking in a way that is not like a stylish bar (annoying as usual 😅), the volunteers went for ramen 🍜 Ramen is delicious after drinking, no matter how old you are.
It was a fun 2 days that made me forget all about work! Come again even if you're not working 😉.
